We were lucky enough to shoot ‘High-cut Summer’ for Retrosweat as a tribute to the return of the icon 1980s high-cut swimsuit fashion and the favourite beach goer hot spots of the idyllic Sydney seaside. We took inspiration from the stylised 1980s holiday snaps and Aussie man-cave pinup-style calendar shots. Shot by Chrissie Hall from Xray Doll, hair and make up by Sonia Allen and retouching by Wassim Bazzi from Xray Doll and vintage pieces generously donated by Miss Brown Vintage

Our retro-tastic hottie Shannon Dooley from Retrosweat has made The Australian! (Yup, you’ll probably also recognise that inevitably iconic pic of Shannon getting her Jamie-Lee Curtis on as an XRay Doll special. Ah, we’re so proud.)

Also check out the new Retrosweat website so you can have a gander at another of our favourite pics: Shannon perched atop an epic boombox, set amongst a sea of cassettes. Seriously, could you get more 80s? Okay, we couldn’t get Michael J Fox, but we think we nailed it, nonetheless.
